Authenticators and RADIUS authentication server.
hostapd is designed to be a "daemon" program that runs in the back-ground and
acts as the backend component controlling authentication. hostapd supports
separate frontend programs and an example text-based frontend, hostapd_cli, is
included with hostapd.
